Cellphones at work
0Jul 31, '11 by RehabmeCellphones at work - are they really that important? For those who cary them for emergency puposes I can kind of understand but have they ever been called? Any ideas how to keep the curse of the smartphones undercontrol? Looking for any help I can get
1Jul 31, '11 by virgo,student nurseIf I am going to be in a meeting,or I know a lot of people may be around I put my phone on silent. I think it is ok to have your phone on you, in the event of an emergency. You should also be aware of your work locations, policy on phones in the work place.Not_A_Hat_Person likes this.
1Aug 7, '11 by mom2cka, MSN, APRN, NPWe cannot have ours (policy) and most people do follow that and keep them in their lockers. We kind of police ourselves, I think...virgo,student nurse likes this.
4Aug 10, '11 by TheCommuter, ASN, RN Senior ModeratorThe majority of people lived just fine without cellphones as recently as ten years ago. I do not see why they need to be glued to the cellphone while at work.
If it's really an emergency, the person can attempt to reach the employee through a land line, or leave a voice mail message that can be checked on a break or meal period. Sorry, but emergencies do not happen to most people daily, weekly, or even monthly. -
1Feb 12, '12 by BoognishI keep mine on silent or turned off in my backpack in the nurse's station. If anybody needs to get a hold of me in an emergency, they can call my facility. Except for when I'm on break, I only ever take my phone out while I'm finishing up my paperwork, and it's usually only to text my wife when I'm running late.NurseBrookitty likes this.
0Feb 12, '12 by cityknitty_RNI agree that for emergencies, one can always call the facility so a cell phone is not necessary to have by your side at all times.
However, I will say that my smartphone has come in handy at work a few times. I do have nurse-friendly software that helps with calculations, drug books, etc. It's quick and I use software that would be found around the nurses desk anyway (such as a Davis Drug Guide, for example). You may say, just look it up in the book. Well, it's quicker for me to look it up there. Same difference. -
1Feb 12, '12 by BoognishI think using your cellphone as a nursing tool is legit. It's only when people are using their phones in ways that it interferes with their work that it becomes a problem.Not_A_Hat_Person likes this.
1Feb 15, '12 by littlegreenfrogwhere I work (hospital) people are on their phones all of the time - i have seen people take calls while in pt's rooms and you will see them on the phone walking down the hall. I'm talking personal calls on personal cell phones. no one seems to care.Not_A_Hat_Person likes this.
2Feb 15, '12 by nelcoy4My manager doesn't mind that we carry our cellphones on us. She just doesn't want us to take calls in pt's rooms and we have to keep it on silent. I don't talk on my phone at work, but my phone has come in handy a few times. I downloaded Goggle translate to help me communicate with non-english speaking pts (this helps when I can't find the translator phone). The drug app, calulator, stopwatch, setting alarms for pts that want their prn pain meds the exact time it's due, & finding music to calm down anxious pts.4boysmama and Forever Sunshine like this.

I need about 8 cubic yards of compost in the next couple of weeks. Last year I purchased in from Perrins on 280, but they won't have any for another month. So is there anywhere else in the Birmingham area (or within 30 miles or so) that sells compost by the yard? |

There are all kinds of compost- sometimes you can end up with trash. Captain Compost (google him) is the best person to buy compost from in this area. He sells it by the truckload. Are you trying to start a square foot garden? I looked for all of the same things a few years back when I started mine. I now compost all my kitchen and garden waste-it is easy and fun. You can also get leaves and grass clippings free from neighbors. Susan |
We actually have a ton of our own compost (been composting for years), but we're significantly expanding the size of our garden, so need a lot more than we can produce. |
Captain Compost. Located in St.Clair county. Odenville I beleive. |

Bayeux Tapestry: The islanders who finished the final scenes
The Bayeux Tapestry is arguably the most famous piece of embroidery in history. Yet, when it was rediscovered 300 years ago, the final section appeared to be missing. Until now.
Nearly 1,000 years ago, as William the Conqueror sat on his newly-won English throne, a team of embroiderers laboured over a tapestry intended to immortalise his achievement.
The Battle of Hastings
- Edward the Confessor's death in 1066 left a disputed succession and the throne was seized by his leading aristocrat Harold Godwinson
- King Harold quickly faced invasion on two fronts - from the King of Norway, Harald Hardrada, and William, Duke of Normandy
- The Norwegian invasion was stopped at the Battle of Stamford Bridge in Yorkshire on 25 September 1066
- Harold was killed by William's army at the Battle of Hastings fought on 14 October 1066
The tapestry, chronicling the Norman conquest of England and that battle in 1066, is regarded as a marvel of medieval Europe. However, since it was "rediscovered" by scholars in the 18th Century, its original final scene has been missing.
Instead, the final scenes showed the death of Harold Godwinson, the Anglo-Saxon king, and his unarmoured troops fleeing following their defeat at Hastings. No one is certain how much longer the original tapestry was or what it showed, but most experts believe it was an 8-10ft (2.5-3m) piece including a depiction of William's coronation on Christmas Day in 1066.
Now, a team of embroiderers on Alderney, a small island just off the coast of William's native Normandy, have "finished" the job. The project took a year to complete and every effort was made to ensure it fitted in with its famous forebear. Embroiders used the same techniques, fabrics, colours and similar types of wool to the medieval original.
The new tapestry is the same height as the original and 3m (10ft) long, with four panels showing events following the Battle of Hastings, culminating in William's coronation. The finished work is set to be displayed in the room next to the original tapestry at the Bayeux Tapestry Museum in Normandy.
"Once you've stitched for a couple of hours you stand back to see what you've done... everyone is so proud of it, of taking part," said Fran Harvey, one of the Alderney stitchers.
Bayeux Tapestry
- William the Conqueror's half-brother Bishop Odo is believed to have commissioned the tapestry to celebrate victory at the Battle of Hastings in 1066
- It shows events from a Norman point of view, from the death of King Edward the Confessor until the Norman victory over the English
- The missing section is believed to have shown William's coronation
- It is thought to have been unveiled in 1077 at the dedication of Bayeux Cathedral
- The first written mention of it is in an inventory of the treasures of Bayeux Cathedral carried out in 1476
- According to legend, French revolutionary soldiers took it from the cathedral intending to cut it up to use as wagon covers, but it was saved by a lawyer
- In 1803 the tapestry was displayed in Paris as part of propaganda surrounding Emperor Napoleon's planned invasion of Britain
- During the 19th Century the tapestry was restored
- In 1944, the tapestry was exhibited in Paris for the second time and was then returned to Bayeux
- Since 1983, it has been preserved in the former seminary that houses the museum
"It becomes like a drug. I'd tell my husband I'm just going to pop to the library for half an hour and return two and a half hours later."
As well as the pride in their efforts, she said her shoulders, neck and back had ached after a couple of hours of stitching.
"Hundreds of years have passed, but it's the same physical experience. While we were stitching we chatted, swapped recipes... probably exactly the same things the original embroiders talked about."
Professor Robert Bartlett, a leading authority on the Middle Ages who has presented several BBC TV series, says he has been impressed by the finished effort.
"I think they have made a remarkably good job of getting this imagined section to look very like the rest of the tapestry: its scale and design, with an illustrated border above and below the main panel, the lettering, the postures of the figures," he says.
"It has often been pointed out that the opening of the tapestry has a figure of King Edward the Confessor enthroned, and that around the middle point of the tapestry there is an image of William's enemy Harold enthroned.
"It would be a neat symmetry and make perfect sense of the story if the end of the tapestry had showed the victorious William enthroned, which is what the Alderney team have chosen to do. The other 'new' scenes are more speculative, but they are modelled on scenes earlier in the tapestry so look convincing."
The finished work has been on display in the Alderney Museum until last week, when it was transported to Bayeux. It has been favourably received by Bayeux Tapestry Museum's curator, Sylvette Lemagnen.
"It's remarkably embroidered and the scene is absolutely plausible," she says. "The chosen colours are quite similar to the original. The characters in the central part of the tapestry are embroidered in a similar style and the animals which decorate the borders conform to the original."
The exhibition in Bayeux marks the culmination of a dream for Kate Russell, who spearheaded the project. She said she had been "a bit obsessed" about the Bayeux Tapestry since first viewing it many years ago.
The 72-year-old American, who retired to Alderney, currently works at the island's library where the embroidery was done.
She said she was amazed by the response to her idea, which has been financially supported by the States of Alderney. "I had no idea if this would work, never in a million years imagined how popular it would be. Now to have Bayeux Museum want to display it - wow."
Mrs Russell described taking the tapestry to the museum as the "best day of my life, I couldn't stop grinning". She said the project's design was inspired by Jan Messent, author of The Bayeux Tapestry Embroiderers' Story, who allowed some of her images to be used by the Alderney volunteers.
The project drew on the expertise of islanders, visitors and their contacts, including Jane Bliss, a freelance researcher for Oxford University, who frequently holidays on the island and contacted other academics about historical questions.
These included whether any of the protagonists should look out from the tapestry directly towards the viewer.
In the original tapestry, only Harold Godwinson and the Archbishop of Canterbury did this, during Harold's coronation. It was decided that William and the archbishop should also be shown full faced in the coronation scene.
The embroiderers had also asked whether William's knights would have worn armour inside Westminster Abbey for the coronation, but could find no definitive answer. Mrs Russell said this was an example of when they had "had to find our own way".
The tapestry has only deviated from the original style in one significant way. The final panel includes the image of the Tower of London, which was not built at the time of William's coronation.
Mrs Russell said this was a nod to the importance of castles to the Normans.
"Fortifications had only been defensive structures in the past, but these offensive and defensive fortifications allowed the Normans to the rule a huge nation with a fairly small number of troops," she says.
Above the tower appears a 'Hand of God' identical to the one shown above Westminster Abbey in the scene showing Harold's coronation.
Although all other writing in the tapestry is in Latin, this features an Old English phrase from the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle in 1066. It translates as: "The end will be good, as God wills." It can be interpreted differently from either an English or Norman point of view.
"Anglo-Saxons used tapestries to tell stories, but the Normans did not do it previously," Mrs Russell says. "There's a lot of English slant to the tale, it makes Harold seem like a hero - the English embroiders were protecting their own history."
Prof Bartlett, who is based at the University of St Andrews, said the original tapestry was a hugely significant historical artefact. "There is nothing like it from this period: an almost perfectly preserved narrative embroidery, 70m long and over 900 years old.
"It tells the story of an event that changed the history of England and Normandy fundamentally. England and France have never been more intermeshed than they were in the Middle Ages and the tapestry shows how this happened - in pictures."
The Alderney Tapestry will be on display at Bayeux from 1 July till 31 August 2014.
